I must be out of my head. This guy who's been coming to our Green Town guest house, one of many tuk-tuk drivers, started talking to me and I told him my needs of having a motorbike. (foreigners can't rent motorbikes in Siem Reap and the school is 25km away) Mark, the tuk-tuk driver, has been around for the past few weeks while i was satying, i never got to know him until now but have always noticed his broken street english "whass'up, man?" "what the fuck!" and now he's sitting across the table from me and telling me that it's better to buy one than try to find someone from whom i can rent one. "it's gonna be 10 dollars a day to rent it, but i can get you a second hand motorbike for $600, and i can also help you selling it back when you are done here for $500." off course i get alarted, i haven't been here long enough to know the way things work, and i know very little about the auto mechanic. nevertheless i let him take me to second-hand motorbike dealer he knows. and in a few hours i am convinced that i can trust this guy and handing the dealer $600. they together take my bike apart to do full tune up, install new battery and accessories.
so here it is, Mark fixed me up with a new second hand Honda 100cc. everywhere in Cambodia you see this yellow liquid sold in a 2L drink bottles on the side of the roads, i guess this is the gas... (1L is little less than $1 and runs my bike for 40km) so this will have to take me far, physically and mentally. After quick lesson of driving Mark wants to take me to his house in the village.
